Was reading a discussion recently about mixing crunch with fluff outside of core material. I say this has been a precedent since first edition whether or not you agree with it. And to prove my point I opened an old box of SR books and did some reading. Found something I didn't expect and honestly don't even remember. Brownie points if you can name were this spell comes from.


See-Me-Not Spell

Drain: L1 Type: Mana Duration: Maintainable

Special Effects: This spell causes the subject to become
distracted whenever faced with the particular image(s) he is shown
immediatily after the spell is cast. The distration lasts until somthing
else occurs to attract his attention.
The subject remains unaware of the effects of the spell and
will not remember seeing the distracting images after his distraction.
The distraction will seem completely natural to him.

It's from the adventure "Silver Angel".

It's a DISREGARD Spell.
Or a Spell that makes you a SEP.

SEP?

dude . . hand over your nerd-club card . .

Been a Long Week... My mind is almost mush today... Drew a Blank upon seeing the Acronym (Actually read it as Self-Extracting Program, But I know that is not correct)...

SEP?

*Gives a handful of brownie points.*

Somebody Else's Problem, From The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about SEP Fields:"Not my Problem"

Yep... Now I feel stupid... Should have remembered that...

Go to bed old man ^^

Just a couple more hours...

Thanks. Been about a decade and a half since I read that, so its no wonder I missed it.

Yah, me too, need to see whether or not the MWLL 0.5.0 DL is made public before i go to bed . . probably not <.<

And I didn't even have to look it up. Silver Angel was the first adventure I remember playing.

Yesterday was towel day too.

You're all bastards, the whole lot of you.

Damn it! I forgot.

*bows*
thank you, thank you, i'll be here all year!

So what would be the 4th ed translation of this spell?

Invisibility, but single target rather than AoE. So slightly lower drain.
